Takeoff is clear, Pete. But I doubt landing would be that cut-and-dry.

It is.

Remember I said the conveyor is moving at a *constant* Vref. I'm sure
that'd cause problems once the plane loses aerodynamic braking and has
to rely on ground braking.

You said nothing about braking, nor made any stipulation about braking
performance. If you have further facets to the question you'd like to
explore, feel free to post those. But as the question was stated, my answer
is accurate (as is Jose's).

And for the record, if you're concerned about issues with braking, why
aren't you concerned about issues during takeoff (in which the airplane is
theoretically stopped on the conveyor belt to start with)?

There is nothing aerodynamically interesting about the question. The only
interesting parts happen with respect to the wheel/belt interface, which is
the same whether you are talking about a plane, car, or whatever.
